Could you please post the events generated by the double-click of the center button?

You can do it by using the developer tools section of HA, then go to events tab and in the input box of listen to events write zha_event, then click on the start listening button. Then double click on the center button, and you should see a series of events generated. Paste them in the reply, so @EPMatt can debug things faster. :)

Grazie. ;)

Ora aspettiamo Matteo...

Ciao @pex81 @alexdelprete, sorry for the delay. Does the single center button press work?

You can test it with the following action config:

action_button_center_short:
- service: switch.toggle
  data:
    entity_id: switch.presa_iphone  

Thanks!

...and grazie @alexdelprete for helping out with the issue. ;)

[alexdelprete]

Ciao Matteo,

yes, the single press works. :)

Since I noticed it's the only controller I didn't give you the actions taken from me directly, but you got it indirectly, I thought it was better to record the events directly. I don't know if the problem is there.

Thanks for the help.

yes I confirm, single and long, it works. Only the double doesn't work.

Hi @alexdelprete @pex81, sorry for the delay.

I've just checked the blueprint and the code looks fine to me. I guess the issue might be with the controller not properly firing two separate events for the two presses only for the center button, when the two events are too close in time (I can see in the log @pex81 provided both events are fired with the same time_fired value). I faced similar issues while integrating some IKEA controllers.

Please try to wait a few moments between the first and second press and see if the desired action gets executed. If this operation triggers the single press action instead of the double one, try to increase the helper_double_press_delay value to 5+ seconds.

Thank you!

Hi Matteo,

I will test it like you suggested. The only thing I can say is that when I didn't use your blueprint, the double press of the center button worked ok. Probably the configuration of the embedded automation of the controller works ok by default. Will let you know if the problem is solved playing with the configuration of the helper.

[alexdelprete]

Hi @EPMatt,

had some time to test finally. The double-press doesn't work, it always translated in a series of random single-presses. I also tried using helper_double_press_delay as suggested, in that case no single-presses generated, it simply did nothing.

The problem is also that with that value, single-press action of that button doesn't work anymore, obviously.

I reverted to long-press center button action, that one works perfectly.

[alexdelprete]

I also noticed another issue while I was testing: sometimes even the buttons that worked, single-press up and down, generated a bouncing effect (the action was repeated two times), so I decided to configure this, for each button:

I noticed that when I checked the checkbox, the "save" button of the automation would not appear, and it was strange, but after I unchecked, it appeared, so I re-enabled it and saved, but when I checked the automation again, the value was not saved.

Hi @alexdelprete,

thank you so much for testing. Do you notice any entries in the HA logs related to this blueprint?

Could you also please share screenshots/traces from the HA automation trace tool? Set the helper_double_press_delay to 5000, then when trying to trigger the double press routine wait 1s between the first and second button press.

I noticed that when I checked the checkbox, the "save" button of the automation would not appear, and it was strange, but after I unchecked, it appeared, so I re-enabled it and saved, but when I checked the automation again, the value was not saved.

Interesting, where did you spot this bug? I guess it's in the ZHA device config.

Thank you!

Not that I remember. I would've raised the issue. :)

I'll test later and report. I rarely used the automation trace tool, do you need something specific or just a couple of screenshots?

Like I wrote (not clearly probably), it was in the edit of this automation: if I try to check these highlighted checkboxes, the automatic save button should appear, but it doesn't.

As soon as I uncheck one (or all of them), the save button appears.

The problem is that if I hit save, does checkboxes are not retained. It doesn't generate errors when I save, but when I go back in the automation, the three boxes are not checked.

In the logs I don't see relevant errors.
